Story
Cooper is a male GSD, approx. three years old. He was found running the streets of Stockton in June and picked up as a stray. By July 11, this sweet soul was suffering from kennel stress and was scheduled to be euthanized. Danielle and Peter read his plight and immediately decided to foster Cooper, who was on borrowed time. He was to be euthanized by 5:00 on July 12. Once outside of the shelter and in his foster home Cooper started to relax. And boy did he. He napped and napped like he missed a year of sleep. He slowly met the resident dogs in the house, observed the backyard chickens and peeked at the resident cat, sometimes barking to let him know he saw him. Cooper's silly side started to come out too. He gets the zoomies and seeks out affection from his foster mom and dad with head nudges, paws on an arm or leg, and a lean against them. Cooper is currently living with three older GSDs (two females and a male) and would do best in a home with an older, confident female dog to pal around with. Cooper is potty trained and sleeps in a crate overnight. He is working on leash walking, sit, and how to settle in his crate during the day for short intervals. He will need someone who is experienced, patient, and will keep a consistent schedule with him. This gentle boy is looking to connect with his forever person. FOSTERED IN ACAMPO

Vinnie

German Shepherd Dog

Male, 1 yr 6 mos
Alameda, CA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Vinnie was found as a stray in Manteca with a severe wound on his hind leg. Thankfully, the leg was not broken, but the vet diagnosed some osteomyelitis in the bone due to infection. Vinnie was prescribed some high-powered meds, and with a lot of TLC, his leg did not have to be amputated. Vinnie is doing very well in his foster home. He is currently living with two dogs (a little female Terrier and a Senior female GSD) and kitties. And although Vinnie is respectful of his foster siblings, he can get a bit rambunctious and forgets his age and size. He is friendly with his foster kitties but wants to "head butt" and play with them so supervision is a must. Daily exercise is a must for this guy! His foster mom takes Vinnie on three-mile walks daily, and his foster dad started taking him on runs. Vinnie is housebroken and crate-trained, although he would rather hang out with the family.

Story
Hudson was found as a stray in the Modesto (CA) area and was taken to the Stanislaus Animal Shelter on July 31 . The shelter staff described Hudson as "loving, leans into affection, knows basic commands, is easy-going, calm, takes treats nicely, and appears to be potty trained". He was temp tested with other dogs, and he was "generally neutral, although he was a bit too curious about a small dog in the beginning, but didn't demonstrate any concerning behavior". Sadly, like most Senior dogs, Hudson was constantly overlooked, and by August 30, he was placed on the shelter's euthanasia "Red List". Thankfully, a kind Samaritan offered to foster Hudson. Kris picked him up with one day to spare. He did well riding in a car and while getting a bath. He has shown no interest in the foster's small dog or kitties and appears to have no guarding behaviors. He also has a "soft mouth," meaning he takes food and treats nicely. We will update his bio as we get to know Hudson better. FOSTERED IN STOCKTON

Story
Maximiliano was found wandering the streets as a stray in Stanislaus County in July and was taken to the shelter. He was not microchipped and his owners did not come in to reclaim him. The shelter described Max as "very sweet, high energy dog. Loves the pool and running around the yard. Walks great on the leash. Needs some training. Has a tendency to jump on people. Did good with a female dog and great off leash with a male dog". Although he was a "staff favorite", by Sept, he was scheduled to be euthanized. With no time to spare, Max was saved and is now being fostered in Dixon. He has a couple of two-legged brothers and a four-legged sibling to hang out with along w/some kitties. FOSTERED IN DIXON, CA
